You just self-owned yourself there. If it WAS a GC, it wouldn't be out of stock. Because it is NOT a GC, and because many people ARE buying it, it is out of stock. Haha.

It is not a Gamecube. The reason they are out of stock and cannot manufacture enough of them is because everyone keeps buying them.

The PC is built around the same architecture as well, that doesn't mean it's the same hardware.

It's based on the GCN architecture, but it's not the same as the GCN. It's more powerful and contains parts the GCN doesn't, like WiFi and Bluetooth functionality, as well as a flash harddrive.

Wii =/= GCN

It's a turbocube, the cpu and gpu are essentially the same as the GC, just overclocked.

I don't understand why the can't meet capacity either...

They are making a million a month. More than a million people want to buy one each month.

I don't get why this is so hard for people to understand. It's just simple subtraction, that's hardly even math

Can anyone explain to me why the Wii is outselling the PS3 and X360 by a landslide worldwide? Oh yeah, because it's an intuitive system everyone and their grandmothers wants to own.. And it's Nintendo.

Or how about when they argue about sales in the U.S and Europe and how 360 is flopping in sales in Japan. But when it comes time for lemmings and cows to talk about Wii sales all of a sudden don't matter.

what's so hard to understand. read this carefully, "The hardware is basically a GC. We've upgraded our development tools to new versions but, you can still use GC programs as they are. With that in mind, I thought we could remake GC titles for the Wii and modify them to work with the Wii remote so that they're more fun to play." 

sounds like you're the one who has reading comprehension issues.

Funny how you always stop short of the point of that whole speech. When it comes to development on the Wii, it's like developing on GC hardware. They upgraded their dev tools, but they can still use Gamecube tools to develop on it. I'll do you a favor and buy you a DS and a copy of Brain Training, no need to thank me. An education is a terrible thing not to have :)
